I was only discussing transmissions in BMWs, not in general. So for autos I'm mainly referring to the ZFs currently being used by BMW.

So your manual blows up at 24,000 miles and you infer it means manuals are of weak design as a general principle. Yet you failed to mention it was a used car that you don't know the prior ownership use. Of the 10+ cars in my data source, 3 were used and without known history. Talk about anecedotal...

Either you're not reading my posts or my writing may be bad. I said that your one blown auto was equally anecdotal as my one blown manual. So they are both anecdotal. I'm not claiming my one blown manual proves anything.
I also have said nothing about manuals being weak as a general principle.
